While Metal Detecting around an old foundation, in very up state New YorkI found an old hand dug well, mostly filled in.
From what I know the house was gone by 1920. As soon as the snow is gone I plan on returning.
I dug down about 19 feet,bring up many bottles etc . I also found a small hard rubber doll.
I have been told it is a cupee doll, but I'm not sure since Cupee dolls had wings on the back.
Anyone have any ideas, or suggsted places to look for more info.
Thanks.

Looked for Names or other trade marks... Found none.
However there are 2 numbers in reverse on it' butt looks like 26 in reverse.
This could be a mold number. The doll is very hard rubber solid..
Thanks

I'm thinking gutta percha doll, right around WWI to 1920. Brownie, as opposed to kewpie doll.

I mistakenly did a search on "rubber doll" and I believe I will now need counseling right after I go home and take a couple hot showers. Ugh.

I have to agree with DG and Charlie on the time frame.

Charlie, you search under "Vintage Dolls" not "Rubber" ;D ;D I'm not even going to go there, I can imagine what you saw... :o
